"Sumptuous yurts in a remote woodland setting."
Overview
Tucked away in secluded woodland surrounded by peaceful countryside, Penhein Glamping offers eight beautiful Alachigh (pronounced alla-cheeg) tents, that are cosy, warm and kitted out with everything you need for a holiday to remember. The sumptuous interiors have comfortable beds (a double, two truckle beds and a sofa bed for children), quality dining furniture, lanterns, a well-equipped kitchen with a cold-water sink, a large cool box and a wood-burning stove (wood is provided). Each tent also has an en suite pod with a fully flushing toilet. Three of the tents have their own shower immediately outside, four have a dedicated shower in the shower block and the fifth tent is allocated a Victorian roll top bath. Outside each tent there's carved tree-trunk seating and a fire pit for BBQs. There are level bark pathways between the tents, and a ‘Cheat’s Kitchen’ in the centre of the site, with microwave, cooking hobs, an honesty bar plus a freezer, as there’s no electricity in the tents. The shower block has a drying room, underfloor heating, monsoon showers and a Victorian style roll-top bath. In addition, there’s a communal tent with a wood-burning stove and a wildflower meadow for games. An impressive and spacious stretch marquee has been added for large group activities, with a large wood fired pizza oven, BBQ and fire pit outside for guests to gather around. The site is fully licensed for weddings and now welcomes well behaved dogs.

About the area
In their bid to control the borderlands of Monmouthshire – also known as the Marches – the Normans built a triangle of castles: Grosmont, Skenfrith and White. At first, they were simple wooden structures strengthened by earthworks, but when the lively Welsh refused to stop attacking them, it was decided more permanent fortresses were needed.
